myResources

Designed as a discrete system monitoring utility, myResources is free to use, small-sized and portable. It gets integrated into the systray at startup and silently watches over the CPU, RAM and disk usage levels, prepared to show graphs with the real-time consumption on the screen.

Thanks to the fact that it's wrapped in portable format, myResources can be kept in your collection of no-install tools as well as saved to a removable storage unit to quickly run it whenever you suspect your computer is running on too many resources (ideal for finding out what's going on in the background while you're testing an application or playing a game, for example).

Three separate icons are added to the notifications tray at startup, responsible for overseeing the disk ("D" icon), CPU ("C" icon) and RAM consumption ("M icon"), along with an all-in-one icon. On left click, you can check out graphs with the resource readings in real time.

The all-in-one graph tracks the average and maximum disk, CPU and memory levels every minute, hour or day (depending on your preference). It can also monitor the download or upload rate, or both.

Right-clicking any tray icon reveals a menu with options for toggling the panels, resizing the graphs, customizing the icon colors, or asking myResources to automatically run as soon as Windows boots. Two independent applications made by the same developer as used for the all-in-one graph (SumGraph) and network monitor (NetGraph).

Taking everything into account, myResources offers a convenient solution for monitoring CPU, RAM and disk levels, especially if you're the type of person who prefers a silent application that does its job in the background without bothering you with any notifications.
